Modern Pest Services, headquartered at 320 Dover Rd, Chichester, NH, is an 81-year-old New England pest control company (founded 1945, acquired by the global Anticimex Group in 2017) offering residential and commercial pest, rodent, termite, bed bug, tick/mosquito, and wildlife control across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. It has been named to Forbes Home's Top 10 Pest Control Companies in the U.S. and recognized by USA Today as the Best Pest Control Company in New England. Homeowners consistently praise individual technicians by name for thorough, educational visits — explaining what they found, where pests were entering, and how to prevent recurrence, with many customers requesting the same technician on repeat visits. Google shows a 4.9-star average from 717 ratings, and recent activity has been strong: 134 reviews in the last six months with none negative. A small number of dated exceptions are on record: a November 2025 review described a technician arriving without a confirmation call and leaving before an additional request could be addressed, and in a 2023 review a homeowner reported mice activity returning the day after an otherwise thorough treatment. BBB records list an NH pesticide-control license (NHPC 479) for the business, issued by the state's Division of Pesticide Control — a directory-listed claim, not independently registry-verified here.
